Ozark Woods Poetry Festival November 25 2017

Poetry can be defined as a literary work in which special
intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas through the use of
distinctive style and rhythm. poetry is a flowing conversation invoking your
imagination and empathy. poetry bridges communication across nations and breaks
down boundaries.

Poetry promotes literacy, builds community, and fosters
emotional resilience. Poetry is necessary, daring us to live and to not fear
the end. poetry is a magical art, teaching the magician by weaving words and
wisdom into enchanting spells cast only by being spoken. poetry is what happens
when the dark meets the light, like a full moon illuminating the sky on a
stormy night. poetry is the beating of your heart. that's your rhythm and your
soul.

For these reasons and more, we are excited to invite you to
the first Ozark Poetry Festival hosted by The Escape Ranch.

On November 25th we will open the grounds with workshops, entertainment, open mic and more.
